FDR: “We have been very anxious to have Rome declared an open city.”

I wish I had the power, just for this evening, to be present at all of these gatherings.

I recommend that the Congress authorize the acceptance of the Constitution and the participation of the United States in the work of the Food and Agriculture Organization.

That such a body would be best able to perform its nationally important tasks if created independently of the War Labor Board by the President.

The Federal Loan Administrator and the War Food Administrator are hereby designated as additional members of the Economic Stabilization Board.
